A catch or except block that logs a message without the caught error and carries on. The failure is noticed and its cause thrown away.
Each example shows the exact code shape the rule is looking for, then the smallest version that keeps the intent without hiding risk or adding noise.
def refresh_exchange_rates():
try:
rates = provider.fetch_rates()
cache.set("rates", rates)
except ProviderError:
logger.warning("could not refresh exchange rates")Deterministic block parse on JS/TS and Python: flags handlers whose body is only log or print calls, with no throw, raise, return, or assignment, and which never reference the caught error.

logger.exception("could not refresh exchange rates")
raiseInclude the caught error in the log, or re-raise or recover explicitly, so the failure stays diagnosable.
Agents add a log line so the handler looks responsible but leave out the exception itself, so the log says something failed and never what.

Deterministic block parse on JS/TS and Python: flags handlers whose body is only log or print calls, with no throw, raise, return, or assignment, and which never reference the caught error.
Handlers that include the error in the log, Python handlers using `logger.exception(...)` or `exc_info=True`, handlers that re-raise, return, or otherwise recover, `pass` bodies, and non-production paths are not flagged.
Introduced in aislop v0.9.5.
